Posted in Health at 12:08 pm by David Bradley -- Click to comment

Physicists are now paraphrasing Andy Warhol! The latest entry in the physics eprints from arxiv discusses the dynamics of information access on the Web. The researchers conclude that “while fifteen minutes of fame is still an exaggeration in the online media, we find that access to most news items significantly decays after 36 hours of posting.”

Which, is why my sites get updated at least once a day as I hanker for that elusive fifteen minutes.
